HENRY C. GLINSMANN, OF BAYONNE, NEW JERSEY ,WASHlNG-MACHINE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 365,594, dated June 28, 1887.

Application filed October 11, 1886. Serial No. 215,816. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

.Be it known that I, HENRY O. GLINSMANN, of Bayonne, Hudson county, State of New Jersey, have invented a new and Improved Washing -Machine, of vwhich the following specification is afull, clear,'and exact de-- '5, 'a side view of the oscillating frame, showing the roller in section. Figs. 6 and 7 are detail views showing the handle-socket and handle. I

The letter a represents the cast-metal frame supported on legs and inclosing the suds-box I), made of sheet metal.

cis the dasher-roller, journaled at its ends in two levers, cl, that are connected by acrossbar, 0, the whole constituting an oscillating frame, which is pivoted within the suds-box by trunnionsf, projecting inwardly from the suds-box and engaging slots g, formed in levers d.

Beneath the cross-bar e the levers d are'connected by a second cross-bar, h, having two (more orless) upwardly-projecting perforated arms, 1', that encircle the upper cross-bar, 6. Between arms 1' sleeves j are slipped over the crossbar e, and in this way a very strong and convenient hand-piece for oscillating the levers d and roller 0 is produced. The arms t not only serve .to strengthen the crossbar e, that has to bear the pressure fromthe hands, but they also serve as braces for the entire oscillating frame, which must be very rigidly joined on top, inasmuch as thelower ends of the levers d, being disconnected,would otherwise be apt to spread apart.

To the outer side of each lever (I there is attached a tube, It, into which is fitted a rubber plug, Z, projecting out of both of the open ends of the tube. This plug constitutes a buffer to limit the backward and forward motion of the frame. The buffer is adapted to come in contact with lugs or stopsm,projecting upwardly from the frame a, and having inclined bearing-faces, as shown.

' The suds-box b is made with a corrugated concave bottom, 0, Fig. 2, which is joined to the front and rear faces, a n, of the suds-box. These faces are not straight up and'down, as usual, but are straight on top only, while they are bulged outwardly neartheir lower ends, so as to form concave section a, which merge into the bottom, as shown. These concave sections are corrugated to correspond with 7 bottom 0.

p is the splash-board, adapted to support a wringer and made of trough shape, as shown, so as to catch the drippings and guide them into the sudsbox. The cover q is supported upon the lower edge of the splash-board and upon a bead on the opposite side of the sudsbox.

r is one of the handles of the machine. This handle has inwardly-projecting lugs,as usual, fitting into sockets 8, cast in the frame a, such sockets being open at their back. The sockets are formed at opposite sides of a central bar, a, forming part of casting a. This bar is made of tapering shape, being at its greatest width at the point where it is provided with the sockets. To attach the handle 0 to the frame a,such handle is slipped over the lower narrow-end of bar a, and is then passed upward until its lugs engage sockets 8. Thus the handles may be applied even though the suds box is in position. The machine is operated, in the usual way,by rocking its oscillating frame backward and forward.

I claim as my invention-- 1'. The combination of frame a, suds-box b, levers d, crossbar e, and roller 0, with the inclined lugs m, secured to frame a, and with the tubesk and plugs Z, secured to levers d, substantially as specified.

2. The combination of frame a,having tapering bar a and sockets s, with the handle 1*, adapted to engage said sockets, substantially as specified.

3. The combination, with a tub or suds-box having journal-bearings, as described, of a reciprocating rubber composed of slotted levers, a transverse bar connecting the upper ends thereof, spools arranged on the said bar, and a lower transverse bar having short branches provided with eyes to receive the said upper bar, substantially as specified.
